METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING CORRELATION BETWEEN CLINICAL EVENTS

摘要

The present application relates to improving healthcare practices in clinical facilities. In a facility that utilizes electronic patient charts (16), a correlation processor (24) discovers correlations between events as defined by a user of the system. The user first selects an anchor event. Then the user selects a related event. Both the anchor events and the related events can be run through appropriate filters to eliminate unwanted results. The user then defines a relationship between the anchor event and the related event. The correlation processor (24) then searches through the patient charts (16) for the correlation as defined by the user. Results are displayed for the user in a format designated by the user.
